Blind Channel offers an unparalleled wilderness experience. We offer
unique nature and marine tours. Powerful orcas, dolphins,
and mystical grizzly bears are a few of the local residents,
and can often be seen on a boat tour. You are invited to take
part in whale watching, hiking, coastal culinary, and photography

with a spring flowing through its roots. Custom personalized

RESTAURANT

The Cedar Post Restaurant is not only considered one of the
best places to dine on BC's coast, with a delicious German
inspired menu, it is also a testament to the late Annemarie
Richter's life work. Her mosaics, tapestries and paintings
speak to the colourful history of the resort and the family
who has owned it and built it up while living here since 1970.

We
grow our own herbs, micro greens, and many of the vegetables
for our dishes in our garden. We also use edible flowers both
from the garden and wild, we harvest wild berries and berries
from our garden, and we use sea asparagus which grows on our
beach.

The marina at Blind Channel has been a favourite destination
for boaters for generations. It's conveniently located for

for their summer trip.

Coastal
cruisers can tie up, shop, dine out, re-fuel, hike, or just
take it easy. You can let your guests stay on shore while
taking them cruising or fishing during the day.
